During the blue glass craze few years
ago Mrs. Ruth Smith, of Bridgeport,

ton. Being a widow lady of wealth,
she caused TO be built On the southeast cor
of her house room composed entirely of
blue glass, into which the sunlight
streams during the entire day. Mrs.
Smith wears blue glass spectacless,
dresses in blue silk and has her meals

blue glass, where she eats, sleeps and
lives. It is stated that she has not been
out from her glass home more than ten
minutes at a time in eight years, dur
ing which period she has never felt pain
or an ache of the slig ghtest description.
Her neiehbors state that a perceptiblc
change has taken place in her features
during tie period of her novel method of
living, and her wonderful preservation
and good health have led many to believe
that there is more virtue in blue glass
than the general public is willing to con-
cede.- Chicugo Herald.

Origin of Cinderella.

There is no fairy tale that is better
known.;or more loved by young readers than
the story of the poor little cinder gil, who
was so i'll treated bv ner cruel sisters, had
such a delightful god-mother, with q
magic wand, and was so lucky as to lose
her pretty glass slipper only to gain O
prince, and become princess thereby.
Looking over an old book, we came
upon an anecdote that is said to have been
the origin of this favorite tale. Cinderella's
real name, it seems, was Rhodope, and she
was beautiful Egyptian maiden, who
lived 670 years before the birth OF Christ,
and during the reign of Psammeticus, one
of the twelve kings of Egypt. One day
Rhodope ventured to go in bathing in
clear stream near her home and meanwhile
left her shoes, which must have been
unusually small, lying on the bank. An
eagle, passing above, CHANGED to catch
sight of the little sandals, and mistaking
them for toothsome tid-bit, pounced
down and carried off one in his beak.
The bird then unwittingly played the
part of fairy god-mother, for, flying
directly over Memphis, where King
Psammeticus was dispensing justice, it
let the shoe fall right into the kings lap.
Its size, beauty, and daintiness imEledia-
tely attracted the royal eye, and tn. king,
determined upon knowing the wearer OF
so cunning a shoe, sent throughout all his
KINGDOM in search of the foot that would
6t It. AS in the story of Cinderella, the
messengers finally discovered Rhodop!e,
fitted on the shoe, and carried her In
triumph to Memphis, where she became
The queen of King Psammeticus, and the

delight boys and girls twenty-four

COchineal.

Cochineal, as found in trade, is the
dried body of the female cochineal in
sect, which lives on species of cactus:
During life it is about the size OF small
lady-bug. 1t is rather long, compressed,
equally broad all over, wingless and
marked behind with deep incisions
and wrinkles. 1t fastens itself upon
the plant by means of trunk placed
placed between the forefect and remains
there till it dies. The sap of the plant
provides this little animal with nourish-
ment. The male insect resembles the fe-
male only during the larva state. The
males, after passing through the pupa
state, are winged. Their whole period
of life is from, two to three months. The
cochineal insects are gathered shortly be-
fore they lay eggs, and they are then very
rich in coloring matter. Only sufficient
eggs are laid as may serve to reproduce
the insect. The dead females are also
collected. They are killed with hot
water or steam, and dried in the sun, IN
ovens or on plates. They have brown,
rcd. white or black color. and lose in the
driving two-thirds of their weight. After
driving the cochineal is sicved. About

Well-Preseryed Meat.

The River Viloui, in North Siberia, is
frozen a greater part of the year. In the
cold season the natives follow its course
to the South; and as spring comes on
they return. 1t was during one of these
migrations that an entire rhinocerous was
discovered. The river, swollen by the
melting snow and ice, had overfowed its
banks and undermined the frozen ground,
until finally, with crash, huge mass
of mingled earth and ice broke away and
came laundering down. Some of the
more daring natives ventured near and
were rewarded by q sight wonderful in
the extreme. A broad section of icy
earth had been exposed, and hanging
from layer of ice and gravel was Great
ure so weird that at first they would not
approach it. 1t hung partly free, and
had evidently been uncovered by the land
slide. From the head extended long
horn, as tall as some of the children,
while behind it was another, smaller one.
But the strangest feature of this curious
monster was that it was covered with
hair.
At first, the astonished discoverers
thought the creature was alive, and that
it had pushed aside the earth, and was
coming out. But the great rhinoceros
was dead, and had probably been en-
tombed thousands of years. The body
was frozen as hard as stone, and the hair
covered hide seemed like frozen leather,
and did not hang in folds as does the
skin of living species. Several months
passed before the animal was entirely un-
covered, and so perfectly had nature pre-
served it, that it was then cut up and the
flesh given to the dogs.
The news of this discovery passed from
native to native and from town to town,
until it reached the ears of government
officer. He at once sent orders for the
preservation of the carcass, but the flesh
had already been destroyed; and now
only its head and feet are preserved in
one of the great museums of Russia

proved that he was the actual owner OF

the store, but, having other business as
we'll, and not wishing to carry them both
in his own name, presented the hat and
can establishment to his clcvcn-ycar-old
son, and placed the boy in charge. OF

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Serious Burns.

When serious burn occurs, the clothes
must be removed as soon as the fire is ex-
tinguished. The first consideration
should be to get the clothes of without
pulling, as the least dragging brings the
skin too. The injured part should be
thoroughly drenched with water, and the
clothes cut away. If any part of the gar
ment sticks, let it remain. Dip cloths in
thick solution of common baking soda
water, and place over the burnt surface,
bandaging lightly so as to keep them in
place. As soon as dry spot appears on
this dressing, wet it again by squeezing
some soda and water over it. As the sat
urating will exclude the air, there will be
no smarting. A rubber sheet, a piece of
oil cloth, a gcssamer cloak, or any water
proof article can be spread ON the bed
with blanket over it to receive the suf-
ferer. Should the feet be cold, heat must
be applied to them, and little stimulant
given if the pulse is weak. It is we'll to
have the bed covering warm and light.
A doctor should be called without much
delay. 4 burn is serious in proportion
to the amount of surface involved. 4
deep burn is not as dangerous as super
fetal one twice the size. In severe burns
pain is an encouraging sign; it shows
there is still vitality left. Scalds may be
treated in much the same way. Sweet
oil may be poured over the surface and
covered with -four. Anything that ex-
cludes air will relieve pain. Patients suf-
fering from such accidents should have
concentrated, nourishing food, AID as
much as they can take with ease. In Or
der to do the necessary repairing, nature
must have plenty of material with which
to accomplish. Only doctors should pre-
scribe opiates. Health and Home. -.,
